Darius Zootopia

In Zootopia you see a verity of messages to be seen by an unsuspecting young audience. To me the most prevalent message was that of race. At first the races that were being represented weren’t specified. But it all became clear when the bunny cop was called a “token” which is a black person put in a certain position to please the black community. There was never a bunny on the force so I feel like she was going to be promoted to police status because it was time to have a bunny on there. That part was pretty like affirmative action because even though the other predators didn’t have to get perfect scores to be on the force the bunny did so they had to hire her. In some aspects, but all, I saw the bunnies mixed people and the predators as full black people. The reason I see it like that because of how to animals were dressed. They had on track suits and chains. It was clear that they were black because of how to police were handling them when they went “savage”. Speaking of going “savage”, this brings a great point to light. When the bunny is asked about the predators going “savage” she says it’s not their fault, it’s in their DNA to go “savage” because they are predators. This statement is the main reason I think the bunny was mixed. That statement was extremely racist and she didn’t know why. The fox feels offended and the children that watched this movie probably didn’t catch what I caught. The bunny pulled an Uncle Tom move. An Uncle Tom is a black person who does something to sell out their own. That is exactly what happened there. Another observation I made was the little animals. The assistant to the mayor kept saying that the small animals need to stick together. I saw them as white people because a lot of white people think their race is dying out so they need to stick together.
